Muslims don't believe Jesus died for their sins, so they are not worshipping the same Lord we are. Many religions believe there is a God in heaven, but they are in darkness because they have rejected the sacrifice of his only son, Jesus. So no matter how hard they pray and try to worship their Allah, they are disobedient to the Father in Heaven that christians worship. They do not believe Jesus is the son of God, so it appears they are worshipping a false God.

So then Jews have a different God...since they don't believe Jesus died for our sins?

This also applies to Muslims, Buddhists and whoever else.

Surah 112:1-4 of the Quran states: "Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him"
The Christian Scriptures state: "For to which of the angels did God ever say, 'You are my Son, today I have begotten you?" (Hebrews 1:5).
So, these verses demonstrate that Allah is not the same as the Christian God.
As there is only one God for Christians, and only one God for Moslems, then it is clear that they are indeed offering their worship to the same God.
However, they are most certainly not offering their worship in the same way, nor do they see God the same way. So to this extent it is also true that the Moslem God is not the Christian God.
Think of a mountain, with three sides. The Jew stands on one side, the Moslem on another, and the Christian on another. Each of us can see only our own side, and our own path up the mountain. Each of us thinks that because those on the other sides describe their path in a different way, that therefore they must have a different mountain. They don't; they just have a different journey.
There is nothing in Scripture to say that those of other faiths cannot worship God, or that their prayers will not be heard. What the Bible says is that Christians have unique access to God as Father, rather than as God. Jews and Moslems do not have this unique access to the Father, and to them God remains far more remote and unknowable than he does to us, through Christ.
